Arizona Cardinals host disappointing Oakland Raiders
By Scott Allen
Injuries, prediction
As mentioned the Cardinals are hurting a bit. They have two players already listed out and six others questionable for Sunday’s tilt.
Along with Baker, receiver Chad Williams is out. In addition to Iupati and Humphries being questions, also with that status are defensive tackles Rodney Gunter and Robert Nkemdiche, safety Rudy Ford, and kicker Phil Dawson.
As for the Raiders, they have a pair of receivers in Martavis Bryant and Jordy Nelson who have been ruled out. That could make a long day for Carr and finding receivers to help him out.
They have two cornerbacks in Gareon Conley and Nick Nelson plus linebacker Kyle Wilber listed as questionable. They had eight others on their injury report on Friday but all are expected to be available.
As easy as it seems to predict this one just when you think you have the Cardinals or Raiders figured out, then something will change. The Raiders got blown out by the 49ers two weeks ago but also played the Los Angeles Chargers close last week.

The Cardinals seem to be on the up swing but even they can’t come into this one over-confident. They don’t have that luxury. It is a great chance to win but the Raiders aren’t going to just hand it to them. Cardinals 27 Raiders 21
